Damp & timber survey logging
Log damp meter readings by room and property, and spot rising or falling trends over time - a per-room trend chart with clear dry, at risk, damp and saturated status, instead of only ever comparing today's number against memory.
Every room gets its own miniature line chart plotting its full reading history against a colour-banded dry-to-saturated scale, so a rising trend stands out at a glance - not just today's single number.
Every reading is scored against illustrative, material-specific thresholds - masonry/plaster and timber read differently - with a rising/falling/stable trend arrow alongside the latest status.
Add as many properties as your work needs, each with independently tracked rooms - kitchen, cellar, bedroom, whatever the survey calls for - with optional wall/element notes.
A dedicated Properties tab flags every room currently reading damp or saturated, grouped by property, so nothing gets missed on a return visit.
Every reading carries a material (masonry/plaster or timber) and a reading type (surface or deep), because a damp meter reads differently depending on both.
The Summary tab totals properties, rooms and readings logged - including this week and this month - and holds a full searchable reading history.
Copy a plain-text summary of totals and everything currently flagged damp or saturated to the clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file to keep or share.
Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and two rotating sample surveys - a Victorian terrace resurvey and a new-build snagging survey - let you explore the app before entering your own readings.

Yes - Damp Meter Log runs as a Windows desktop app, and you can try it for free from the Microsoft Store.
Not at all. Damp Meter Log never asks you to create an account, and everything you enter stays on this PC. Registering is optional and only used to tell you about updates.
Each reading is scored dry, at risk, damp or saturated against illustrative percentage thresholds for the material you select (masonry/plaster or timber). These are indicative guidance, not a certified diagnostic damp survey - meter calibration, material composition, humidity and construction age all affect real readings.
Every room gets its own miniature line chart plotting its full reading history against a colour-banded severity scale, with a trend arrow showing whether the room is rising (getting wetter), falling (drying out) or holding steady.
Yes - add as many properties as you need, each with its own independently tracked rooms and reading history.
The Properties tab flags every property with a room currently reading damp or saturated, grouped by property, so nothing gets missed on a return visit.
Yes - copy a plain-text summary to your clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file with totals and everything currently flagged damp or saturated.
